The finished piece. Power through until the end! The darks & neutrals are needed, to allow the lights and brights to pop!

Areas have been gently darkened, but hard edged darks are needed under the beak to achieve the shimmer

The first layer is a great opportunity for achieving soft blends of colour, wet into wet.
Wow Sarah, this hummer is gorgeous. It has a floaty, motion sense to it. The eye is perfect and so life like. Excellent piece of work! How large is the painting? Can't wait for that book!!!
Sarah I just love your little hummingbird and uour steps towards completion. We don't have hummingbirds in Australia...... and I just love them.
Thank you so much for the excellant work you put into your courses
